The buzz around a potential Quinn Hughes trade is the number one talking point across the NHL right now, and while the New Jersey Devils have always felt like a formality as the landing spot, more and more other suitors have emerged in recent days and weeks.
It makes plenty of sense, given that this is the second-best defenseman in the world, and if the Devils were such a certainty, there wouldn’t be this much chatter about anyone else, so things have gotten really interesting.
One constant when it comes to trade destinations for Hughes is the East Coast, with New Jersey, of course, Detroit, Philadelphia, and most recently, Pittsburgh , all mentioned as possibilities. With that swirling around, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to hear another team out East linked to the superstar defenseman, and this time it’s the New York Rangers, as reported by insider David Pagnotta.
